Danish Designer / Illustrator / Whatever Emil Kozak has just released his new book “One Day“. This new volume chronicle how graphics have pervaded the products we buy and and a little bit of individuality to the other wise one-size-fits-all objects we surround ourselves with.

Each of us has a special place in our hearts for the illustrations of Maurice Sendak. This month is filled with exhibitions of his work in anticipation of the “Where the Wild Things Are” feature film debut on October 16th. The largest and most in depth at The Animazing Gallery in Soho displays over 200 sketches, etchings, and a limited edition bronze sculpture based on his most popular characters. “Sendak in Soho” will be on display until November 8th at The Animazing Gallery 54 Greene St NY, NY 10013.

We’ve seen our share of “artist” who work with found (junk) materials, but rarely have we seen any one take it to the level of UK duo Tim Noble and Sue Webster. These pieces featured here are intricately constructed piles of garbage that reveal beautiful silhouettes when light is cast upon them.

Check out our interview with Featured Artist David Choe by Trina Calderon.

David Choe is not your average human. He is equipped with a good sense of humor, but most people would probably think he is just plain crazy. David does whatever the fuck he wants whenever the fuck he wants to. I don’t think he could live any other way. He wears his heart on his sleeve and he’s not afraid to say what he thinks.

Extremely moving and heavy piece by artist/directors Lernert & Sander. We could read into and analyze its emotional symbolism, but we’ll leave that to you.

Siggi Eggertsson’s A Growing Pile of Work is a compilation of over 400 images created from 2003 to 2009. Bits of unused, rejected and personal projects were used to create intriguing display of Eggertsson’s vast body of work. His rigid graphic style is becoming more and more coveted. The young Icelandic illustrator is being snatched up by companies like Coke and Nike and by luxury brands such as Mulberry.
